In the midst of swirling possibilities, a question lingered in the air like an unspoken promise: "If you were given the chance to reset the beginning, what path would you tread?" Option One: To revel in the simple joys of life, finding solace in the embrace of solitude, for the paper-thin figure is the epitome of true love. Option Two: To journey into the realm of cultivation, seeking the secrets of immortality, striving to become a legendary sword immortal. Option Three: To immerse oneself in the world of martial arts, carving out a path as an unparalleled grandmaster, destined to reign supreme over all sects.

Chu Yuan retorted, his resolve unyielding. Silence greeted his response, an acknowledgment of his unwavering determination.

Amid sweet words and gentle reassurances, Enseria is hailed as a land of brilliance—a sacred realm, admired for its beauty and progress, as if it had stepped out from the reels of a perfect film. From birth to adolescence, every child is shaped beneath the same mold. The adults preach that if all seeds are sown in the same field, and nurtured in the same way, they will grow into strong stalks—ready to be harvested as refined and worthy grain. But those who refuse to conform… begin to harden in silence. Beneath the polished shell of genius and order, at the very base of that perfect pyramid, lie secrets—filthy, repugnant, and buried deep. When these vile truths are unearthed, lead will whisper through the air, laced with the scent of gunpowder, of blood, and tears long stained beneath layers of lies. And now, those seeds of difference, scattered and suppressed, await the one who dares to transform the field into a land—a place where every seed has the right to grow in its own way. *If you read this book and are confused, you are not alone, me too. °^°* (Sorry if some of the grammar is wrong or looks strange. my english is pretty bad ^Ó⁠╭⁠╮⁠Ò^) **Note: I haven't posted much ch for weeks.

Who are we truly descended from? Silicon makes up 15.1% of Earth’s mass, after iron and oxygen.
